For the first time, I actually heard a “fear mongering” political radio commercial. It was for the Virginia Governor’s Race sponsored by Ed Gillespie. The Ad was claiming his opponent Ralph Northam allowed:

“Violent Felons and Sex Offenders to be able to restore their rights, and be eligible to vote” “Even one Sexual Predator was caught with over 300 child pornography images after he received his restoration of rights just 2 months prior” “Virginia needs a Governor who will protect citizens against these Violent Sexual Predators, and keep Those Felons in prison where they belong”

Here we go again: painting ALL Sex Offenders with a Broad Brush- in order to USE and SLANDER ALL Sex Offenders for a political advantage.

What about the poor a******* Sex Offender who was only convicted of a Misdemeanor and served no jail time?

Not ALL Sex Offenders are Violent Felons and Sexual Predators Virginia Governor Candidate Ed Gillespie!

The Halloween sex crime numbers are really starting to come down!! P.O.’s going crazy tha halloweeen eve. Lots & lots of survaence all afternoon/night long. Ended prob around 10pm. Too bad the “unregistered” sex offenders (is, aunts, uncles, fathers, teachers, clergy etc) went about “their business” in droves, unmonitored. Sad, very sad.

Reddit article about the passport markings. The general consensus is actually pretty positive. People get it.

They’re going to revoke our passports. I’ve never touched a child in my life and it’s going to say I sexually abused a minor. I wonder if I have to pay $135 again. I just bought this passport in June.

Look at the comments at the bottom. But not if you get angered easily.

Here’s a link one more time to my motion that is going to be heard on March 14. I have had several request to link to so here it is. It is up until Monday. Comments….

Anyone have new info on Michigan doe ruling, I know there working on it Ex po?

Love the comments. Friggin ignorant sheeple…..Sounds like one of USA’s comments, since he is so much better because he only had a battery with some type of sexual connection, but since it was reduced and expunged he is somehow more deserving of constitutional liberties then the rest of us…

Thats strange, I cannot view my motion from my phone from that link. Let me know if others are having trouble…

O.k. , I can kinda understand a felon having passport marking. But then All felons should have it. I do not approve it, but this government?

But misdomeanors? Come on!

Finally! I was wondering when the popular press would start to report this and I have grown very tired of hearing the pseudo-science being regurgitated, including here.

Remember that we were to treat adolescents/young adults like delicate flowers because their “teenage” brains just couldn’t handle any level of adult-level decision-making? Yeah, well….

“We found that much of the risk behavior attributed to adolescents is not the result of an out-of-control brain. As it turns out, the evidence supports an alternative interpretation: Risky behavior is a normal part of DEVELOPMENT and reflects a biologically driven need for exploration – a process aimed at acquiring experience and preparing teens for the complex decisions they will need to make as adults.”

Steven Pinker has already had some fascinating things to say about the subject of “adolescent brains” and insists that the zeitgeist has gotten the message exactly BACKWARDS: without experiences at critical stages of adolescent development, then the adults they would later become are developmentally stunted. Hmmm… think: intolerant and easily bruised college students who cannot tolerate any level of cognitive distortion or contrary beliefs. This fairy-tale science has, most obviously, been employed by the neo-puritans and the continuous surveillance parents. Time to push back!

Thanks American, I am chomping at the bits right now waiting to see what kind of response I am going to get from the AG’s…I imagine they are going to have a hard time since they will not be able to just reiterate or regurgitate their go to claims about Smith and recidivism rates. Everything in that doc is true and yes it did take hundreds if not more then a thousand hours of researching, writing, and collaboration with others to create that masterpiece. Glad you appreciate it and it’s reassuring every time I get a response like you can’t see how a judge with any kind of reasonableness, bullheaded or not, can deny those arguments. I will post the response as soon as I get it. I have to registenext week as today is my bday, so we’ll see if they have been contacted by the opposition yet, I am sure they are going to be thinking about trying the intimidation BS but will be thinking twice because I am sure they will be aware I will fight back, and I know how to get it in front of a judge and retaliate myself, legally. They try that retaliation crap with me I am going straight to the court demanding restraining orders and demanding prosecution for violating my liberties under color of law. It’s against the law. I can definitely prove it if they do since out of ten years of registration they have only done two compliance checks, while on parole, and no contact since, so hassle me I’ll be suing for summary judgements and demanding prosecution….I am not playing, I know it’s cliche but words have power and the court is their for me, not the gov. That’s where a lot of people have got off track, access to the courts date all the way back to the Magna Carta, which was created so the lords and barons of the 11 century could resolve disputes and give them redress in the kings court. It is the foundation of our constitution.

Heyyyy….. with all these “allegations” of misconduct, sex abuse, and rape going around in the media these days.
Sure am glad society has the SO Registry ta keep them safe.
What a joke.
Societies biggest threat, IS Society.

Does anyone know if there are actually any residency restrictions in California on the state level for RC’s who are no longer on supervision? During my last (and each) registration the paper they give us has various laws, including the residency restriction of 2000 feet, but notes that it isn’t enforced at the moment (basically like the Sim-Valley Halloween BS).

Nothing like a chilling effect on civil liberties and those who fight for them:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/11/03/justice_department_declares_war_on_aclu_attorneys_who_oppose_trump.html

…and we wonder why some ACLU chapters are reticent to fight for us.

A local TV station posted the passport thing on their Facebook page. Reading the comments way too many people are under false impression on who this law targets. Most seem to believe the “sex offence against a child” means baby rapers. I’m trying to educate people on how vulnerable their own chilren are against the government making a permanent victim out them. Feel free to chime in if you want to spread some good knowledge. I’m sure if more parents actually found out about these things, we’d have a lot more allies on our side (at least allies in a sense that they’ll at least try and curb laws actually targeting children for non-criminal activity outside of the technicalities of the law).

I finally again stumbled across the paper that addresses NY’s court case(s) regarding de-registration (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2763683). It’s definitely good reading for anyone registered in NY. Of interest is the fact there’s actually a judicial conflict within NY courts about whether or not one must continue to register (see PDF page 21, Roe v O’Donnell).

I just seen that article AJ was getting ready to post on it…lol you’re on it…I fkund the following statement kind of interesting.

The DOJ thus asks the Supreme Court to force Doe’s lawyers to “show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken” against the ACLU—either by the court itself or by state bars—for “material misrepresentations and omissions” designed to thwart an appeal.

sounds kind of familiar. I think this is exactly what happens in sex offender cases…this is what I am talking about, I know I can bring these same accusations apparent ethical issues like that against lawyers. I will be looking into it more…matter fact, I am definitely going to bring it up in court. If they try to misrepresent the facts again I will demand that the courts or state bar takes action…

@PK
Willie Horton smearing is alive and well today!

@ Janice Belluci

If I may ask Janice the current status of the San Diego lawsuit and any plans to pursue IML?

For those unaware, http://www.ssrn.com is a great resource for legal and scholarly papers. Using the quoted phrase, “sex offender”, I found 18 documents of interest. (Be sure to use quotes, as it does an OR search.) Some have the phrase in the title, some in the abstract. I sort by “Date Posted, Descending” to find the most recent papers, but some of the older ones are good still.

One I found on there that gave me some insight into losses and gains in the battle, and also gave me insight into the way the battle is wage (and can be confronted) is titled, “The Ticking Sex-Offender Bomb” (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2367010). It discusses how the tactics and psychology behind the War on Terror is what’s going on with the War on Sex Offenders.

Has anyone actually reveived a passport revocation notice yet? What does it say?

I’m working in a remote location for a month and can’t check my snail mail.

Does anyone have ideas for employment, either self-employment or otherwise? I have been turned away from several jobs, offers redacted and have been denied admission into university. I’m running out of strength to keep going, any info would be appreciated.

I just saw this on the NY site. Does anyone know what the Doe v Pataki case is? Is it a due process determination case or something?

Due to litigation in federal court, certain level 2 and level 3 offenders are not in the Subdirectory at this time. Once these offenders have had an opportunity for a due process hearing to determine the risk level, and if their risk level is determined to be level 2 or level 3, they will be included in the Subdirectory. For more information, refer to the Stipulation of Settlement and the Notice of Settlement for the Doe v. Pataki case.

Interesting news article about gov power to wait until a juv become an adult to handle him his sentence which the high court refused.

“Dressed as grim reaper, convicted sex offender harasses trick-or-treaters”
This seems to be about as close as they can get to making an argument against Halloween sex offenders. And it’s not very close.
